Key clinical point: Atopic dermatitis (AD) was associated with an increased burden of a wide range of psychiatric, dermatologic, and extracutaneous comorbidities, increased awareness of which could help better patient management.
Major finding: Compared with control participants, adults with AD were at an increased risk for psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety (odds ratio [OR] 1.44) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OR 2.01); autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata (OR 6.01) and vitiligo (OR 4.44); dermatologic problems, such as cellulitis (OR 2.52); and systemic conditions, such as lymphoid malignancy (OR 1.91), atherosclerosis (OR 1.69), and metabolic syndrome (OR 1.47; all P < .001).
Study details: Findings are a retrospective analysis of 39,779 patients with AD, who were matched with 353,743 control participants from the general population.
Disclosures: The corresponding author Dr. Kwatra received funding from Pfizer and declared serving as an advisory board member, consultant, and investigator for several sources.
